Dear Adoring Fan,
Well, I saw my first Smart Car in action today when I was driving home from cello practice. And not far behind it was a Hummer... I guess that's the difference between "us" and "them." But I want one of those cars... they're quite cute.
Today was a day, indeed. As is any day, by definition. Had it not been for Jennifer's gummy fruit snacks, I would have positively starved this morning. You had better not interpret that last sentence the wrong way... Anyway, my first class was a bit dreary. What's my first class on Mondays this semester, you ask? Well, Adobe Premiere, of course! And that means video editing with a program that TRIES to emulate it's superiors.
But at least the next class was interesting. Adobe After Effects, that is. (3 Adobe classes in all. Can you believe it, Adoring Fan? Photoshop, After Effects, and Premiere!) I have this idea, you see, for a short animated movie. Animated in 3D, of course. You know me. I've started drawing/writing a storyboard for it (cause I guess that's what you're supposed to do). Can't draw. But I think After Effects will help me visualize it much better. See, I can cut out pictures and mix them with other pictures and roughly animate them with music in the background. I know that's all very basic for a program of such potential, but it's only been two weeks! I haven't learned the advanced stuff yet!
Since I hope to - someday - pursue a career in game design, I was thinking about stuff. And a part of that stuff was politics. DO NOT WANT. Sometimes I think that I'd rather live in Canada. No good reason, really. On the plus side, it borders the U.S. (is that such a boon anymore?), and it doesn't have the imperialistic government that we have (or does it?). As you can see, I know absolutely nothing about Canada. But there's a Bioware HQ there. You know Bioware, right? The gods that gave us Mass Effect and Neverwinter Nights? Hm, maybe it's not as important to you as I thought. I forgive you.
I need a job. The one that you get money for. Cause I need money. Well, so do you. So I think you can relate. The problem is I am too stubborn and too lazy. Which probably means I need to grow up already. It's true. I think I would feel too... I don't know... stifled with a regular job. I'd want something interesting, or at least to work with someone interesting who I respect. (Yeah, what makes me so special that I should be picky about a job? Nothing, it's just what I would rather do. You probably want the same thing too! Unless you prefer being bored... but I know you don't, because you're my Adoring Fan, who clings to my every word!)
So that is that. I was thinking of most of this on the way home, but I most likely forgot some large portions.
Goodnight, Adoring Fan.

What to do.
Well here's another mega-update since last we spoke, Livejournal. As you already know, I've been going to Palomar, and I'm on my second year now. Even though Palomar is a community college, hence most people only spend 2 years there, I think I will be there longer than that. Maybe I'm just crazy, but I like the atmosphere, and the closeness to home, and (especially) the cost (cause I'm poor). Yes, I will probably be socially stunted, since I still live at home unlike most of my peers, and I suck at making new friends. But I'm still unsure of what skill I want to pursue.
Of course, I have gotten a much better idea. I took a class in 3ds max, and I think I've found my calling. Still not that great yet, obviously, but in time I hope to be.
But, that does mean I can design my own Terremoto chairs...
Anyway, I have a girlfriend (old news, but I never wrote it!), and we've been together almost 7 months now! That'll be on the 14th (Hmm.. what day is 7 months before Sept. 14th?). Yes, yes, and her name is Jennifer, and she's quite something. I'm sure most of my adoring fans already know her from high school. She is great fun to be around, and she always finds a way to make me smile, even if I'm super-extremely-dangerously-deeply unhappy. And that's that.
Still have the same trusty cell-phone, and I only recently got voicemail, because them cell phone peoples made mistakes and I never could get it set up. Still drive the same trusty car, cause she's my bebe.
And so I conclude this enthralling snippet of my life. Until next time!
...wonderful.

More and more I see that the purpose of life is relative. You make one up. Why waste your life being unhappy? Why not.. enjoy the time you have? That's just my opinion, anyway. Do what makes you happy. Of course, by that, I don't mean shirking responsibility, or hurting people for sadistic glee. I mean create instead of destroy. Love the ones you love, but don't discriminate against people because they don't love the same way you do.
If only it were possible. But everyone's Utopia is different.. and that's why none can exist. But I'll try. |

As some of you may have already heard, Emily and I have broken up after a relationship lasting 1 year, 3 months, 27 days, and (approximately) 8 hours. To some of you, this may come as a shock. To others, a relief. Maybe a few don't care. And I know of one person who's downright chipper about the whole thing. (That person being Emily herself.)
That being said, yes, I am obviously now single. But contrary to my former partner's bulletin (that she posted on Myspace), I, personally, am NOT available. That means: No, I don't want to get together with you and be your promiscuous boy toy. But if you absolutely insist on saying, "But Charles! You know how much I've always secretly loved you!" then I suppose I can't stop you.
(Yes this is pretty much the same bulletin I posted on Myspace, but this be for the cool people who don't use Myspace, who also deserve a copy of the Charles Digest)
Fortunately, friends have been very supportive and I'm very grateful.
Her bulletin reads:
"So yeah.. Charles and I broke up after a year and 4 months of being together... It kind of sucks but yeah, I'm available again! Haha"
So for any of you who were interested, she's now accepting applications.
ANYWAY!
That's all for now, so catch ya'll later! |

Mega update day!!! Where I stayed up really late because I have nothing better to do than write about my life!
Yes, where to begin. Well I was born at a young age... *bah dum chsh*
Anyway, back to now. So my initiation to adulthood consists of the acquisition of adult-related material. And I don't mean porn, you perverts! Although I can legally look at it, now that I'm 18... But that's beside the point! So, I just got a slick cell phone (nothing new for all yall people with social lives, but new for me so =P ), and its black and cool, but my plan is pretty basic. Oh well! At least I have a cell phone. So I just got a slick pre-owned (not used!) blue Ford Focus. Ignore the scratches! It's my pimpmobile! I can pimp all the.. who am I kidding. I'm not a pimp.
Okay, it's an obviously-used car, but it's mine to use, so it's cool. Oh yeah, and I got a checking account! Yeah.. woo... Well it makes me feel special! 'Specially since I got a flashy debit card that LOOKS like a credit card! (They all do) Yes, I am quite the adult, if I do say so myself. Oh yes, did I mention I am attending the prestigious Palomar State University? *coughs* Okay, Palomar Community College. Well, despite the mediocre connotations of everything I've got, I'm still proud of all of it! Now I just need a job. Anyone need their clothes washed? "Ahhh.. I'll buy it at a high price!" - Scary Merchant guy from Resident Evil 4
Oh yes! And today being the 27th (ignore that it is also 3 in the morning), that makes 1 year, and 3 months with Emily! So um.. yeah! That's that! (Open to suggestions for what to get for her birthday. The mistress requires offerings to appease her.)
Charles Charles Charles... what AM I going to do with myself? Well, recently I went to Six Flags with a group of friends. Personally, I'm scared sh*tless of roller coasters, but ever since I learned to scream, it's a lot better. (For those scared of roller coasters, I recommend screaming. Holding your breath creates pressure in the lungs which pushes against your stomache, making you feel sick and weak. Well, according to the genius of Charles, anyway. So breathe out, or to make it fun, scream. *evil grin*)
Yes! And I don't know what else to write! So... Peace out! A-town down! *werr-wee, wurr-WEE!* |

Yesterday, I flew an airplane for the first time of my life. I went to the Fallbrook airport for Young Eagles (nothing to do with boyscouts), which is a program that lets kids 8-17 fly in planes with experienced pilots. I sound like an advertisement... oh well. It was SO COOL! The pilot has to take off and land, of course, but I got to fly for a few minutes. I saw my house, and the high school (which is right next to the airport anyway) and the ocean! It was quite an exhilirating experience. Well that's all for that part.
So, today, I went over to Emily's house. We all played Boggle, Catchphrase, and Who Wants to be a Millionaire! And having the overwhelming genius I possess... well... I can't lie. I guess I didn't win that much. Afterwords, a Mormon pastor/priest/minister/whatever came and gave a lesson (I guess they make house calls?). I was scared. I'm glad I'm not Mormon. But I never got to play Scattegories... Maybe next time. Goodbye!
This is the exact plane and pilot! Cool! |

Rawr! Finals week is here! Watch out for the monstrous tests!
Just kidding, I'm not that much of a freak. Well, it's been quite some time since I posted... anything. I still don't know what to write. After all that time to think of something...
Oh yeah! Let's see... I can start with things I've gotten for Christmas and such. For instance, there's that Roboraptor up there! It's cool and it doesn't die like my poor hamster. Rest in peace, Rufus. And we got Netflix! Yay! But I'm still waiting for Kung Fu Hustle to get here... one business day... false advertising. I rented Mean Girls with it too. Lindsey Lohan, along with Hillary Duff, is like, the best actress ever! And my brothers and I got around $200... in Best Buy gift cards. And since we go there so often... Oh and we also got the Star Wars Trilogy. And Lord of the Rings Trivial Pursuit! Yay! That's cool.
But unfortunately... my heart.. has a gaping hole in it. Yes it's true... my mom took the Xbox and Gamecube away. I... haven't... been able... to... Oh and I can beat everybody in Smash Bros. Melee. And the other one too.
Well, I hope my English final gets a good grade. If she gives it any lower than a B..................... then she's a meanie head. I probably shouldn't write anything violent, because I don't want to get arrested by overzealous... people. I need job. I need a driver's license. I need a haircut. Does anyone else think Mr. Ropes is a jerk? I do.
I think this is enough to say. |

Spring Break consisted of Habitats for Humanities, Paintballing, DDR, and getting slain by a girl!
And today consisted of getting kicked out of my Biology group, Munro, and Fine Feature Films!
Well that's about all. |

A few years ago.. Sean had eye problems. He was still our friend though. He's sensitive about the subject though.. so don't talk to him about it.
But after eye muscle excersizes and corrective surgery and optical wear, my friend Sean can pass off as normal to any teen these days. I have supported him through these awkward years, and I know he appreciates my help as well as my family's support.
He is still sensitive about the whole thing.. so please don't embarrass him by asking him.. he will deny it. I would too. |

Doesn't anyone remember Ecco the Dolphin? I liked Ecco...
If I die on the plane when it plummets to the earth, then I say, "Screw you!"
